GA review (see here for criteria)

---

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   • The route description has a lot of long and choppy sentences such as "The highway continues south through rural Pierce County, following a Ballard Terminal Railroad line and the Pierce County Foothills Trail to the west and the Puyallup River to the east,[5][6] serving the community of Alderton." and "SR 162 crosses the Puyallup River on the McMillin Bridge, listed on the National Register of Historical Places,[8] west of its confluence with the Carbon River and becomes Washington Avenue, traveling southeast through Orting and serving Orting High School." I would suggest either rewording or splitting them.

   • Split and reworded

   • The sentence "The McMillin Bridge is being replaced by WSDOT with a newer, wider span over the Puyallup River scheduled for construction in 2014 because of the older bridge showing signs of deterioration due to age." needs to be reworded and split.

   • Moved deteriorating to describe the bridge (in front) and removed the last section

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Is it really important to mention repaving and the installation of guardrails in the history?

   No other work has been done to the highway and will be done (except the bridge replacement).

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

I will place the article on hold for a couple fixes to be made. Dough4872 03:20, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
